Nonstop flight route between Hobart, Tasmania, Australia and Lakeview, Oregon, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Hobart International Airport (HBA), Hobart, Tasmania, Australia and Lake County Airport (LKV), Lakeview, Oregon, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,183 miles (or 13,170 kilometers).

A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the large distance between Hobart International Airport and Lake County Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.

Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between Hobart International Airport and Lake County Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Hobart International Airport (HBA):

• Throughout 2013, no public drinking water fountains have been operational at the airport terminal.
• The development would also provide car parking for over 2,000 cars and road works will most likely be conducted on Holyman Avenue to ensure that traffic flow into the airport itself is not affected.
• On 11 June 1998, the airport was privatised on a 99-year lease, being purchased by Hobart International Airport Pty Ltd, a Tasmanian Government-owned company operated by the Hobart Ports Corporation.
• Hobart International Airport (HBA) currently has only 1 runway.
• In December 2005, prominent Hobart developer Ali Sultan proposed a four star, 60-room hotel/motel for the airport.
• Because of Hobart International Airport's relatively low elevation of 13 feet, planes can take off or land at Hobart International Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
• The closest airport to Hobart International Airport (HBA) is Launceston Airport (LST), which is located 91 miles (146 kilometers) N of HBA.
• The majority of Hobart's general aviation traffic makes use of the nearby Cambridge Aerodrome, which was sold in 1999 on the condition that it remain an airport until 2004.
• The furthest airport from Hobart International Airport (HBA) is Corvo Airport (CVU), which is nearly antipodal to Hobart International Airport (meaning Hobart International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Corvo Airport), and is located 12,207 miles (19,645 kilometers) away in Corvo Island, Azores, Portugal.
• Hobart International Airport handled 1,855,849 passengers last year.
• The landing length required at Hobart for a Boeing 747 at maximum operational landing weight is 2,400 m, a minimum runway extension of 150 m would be beneficial to the operation of the airport.
• During April 2007, the Hobart Airport's public relations firm confirmed they had submitted plans of the project to the Federal Government for assessment.

Facts about Lake County Airport (LKV):

• Lake County Airport (LKV) currently has only 1 runway.
• The furthest airport from Lake County Airport (LKV) is Tôlanaro Airport (FTU), which is located 11,051 miles (17,785 kilometers) away in Tôlanaro, Madagascar.
• The closest airport to Lake County Airport (LKV) is Crater Lake- Klamath Regional Airport (LMT), which is located 68 miles (110 kilometers) W of LKV.
• Because of Lake County Airport's high elevation of 4,733 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LKV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LKV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
